Yes I Do, Sadly. You're The Specky Plump Boring Fugly That Nobody Wants To Talk To Except Your Fellow Mid Sussex Dullards. I Doubt You've Ever Even Had A Girlfriend.

And how do you know what I look like? I wear glasses about 2 hours a week....

I really know I shouldn't get involved, but WW - is 'speccy' really the only part you want to take issue with? :jester:

Seriously, just ignore Bars. He'll get bored and go back after nipple again.

I'm going home now, and tomorrow I'm going to be NICE to WW all day.*


*unless he starts moaning, in which case I reserve the right to change my mind.

Trying to get this thread back on topic.......

Adding a new piece of kit to your computer or home entertainment set-up, when you find the lead you have been supplied with is about 6" short :mad:

Making phone calls, everything seems to be multiple option and when you eventually get to where you want you get put on hold and then cut off before you get a chance to talk to them.

Putting a duvet into a duvet cover is a truly hateful task :angry:

Why.

-Have the cover inside out, this can be done when removing cover for the washing, in the 1st place.
-Prepare your duvet so 2 corners are within easy reach.
Put your arms into cover to the opposite corners of the opening.
-Hold them.
-Pick up your 2 duvet corners, while still holding the inside of the cover.
-Pull duvet up whilst stretching your arms out, and releasing down the cover that is up your arms. (NB if you are short standing on the bed, will help with this).

-The cover has now gone over the duvet, and is the right way round.

-Follow the edge of the duvet around the edge of the cover making sure the other 2 corners are in place.

Job done, 30secs to 1 minute later.

Mending a flat tyre on a bike - it can take me anything from 30 to 60 minutes yet people in bike shops can do it in about five.

What he said. It's not the actual tyre bit, it's the making sure your wheel is on exactly right afterwards, and the brake blocks aren't out of place, that gets me.

However, my personal nomination is MENDING TROUSERS. Every time mine split in the crotch area, my piss-poor attempts at repair with a needle and thread are RUINED the next time I so much as WALK.

Actually, just reading INSTRUCTIONS on putting a duvet into a duvet cover is a pretty hateful task in itself :glare:

Just be grateful I realised that, as well.
Because the unedited version would have had you slitting your wrists.
